Game Thread #131: Pirates (57-72) at Brewers (75-55)

Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers, Aug 24, 2008 1:05 PM CDT


Paul Maholm's pretty good.  Lucky for us, CC Sabathia is even better.

Game time is 1:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

the big question

What is the record for players on their bobblehead day?
.

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 12:57 PM CDT reply actions  

opens with a single…

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 1:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

walks on his second AB to load ’em for Ryan

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 1:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

infield hit that I didn’t see

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 2:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

pop-up to break up a perfect day

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 3:24 PM CDT up reply actions  

Saving the best for last, though!

Whatever happens

It’ll go better than Capuano Bobble Day

Coffee is for closers

by drezdn on Aug 24, 2008 1:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

Sooooooo...

6 pitch first inning = 54 pitch CG?

by Wayfaerer on Aug 24, 2008 1:11 PM CDT reply actions  

Bloop single

dangerous with 2 outs and the runner going on contact. Hopefully CC can get Rivas here.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:25 PM CDT reply actions  

Billy

wanted to add a little excitement

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 1:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

Jack Wilson

nice range on Cam’s ball but I thought he should have gotten to Billy’s

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:33 PM CDT reply actions  

Cubs game

does anyone know what the delay was? There is no score and the game was scheduled for a 1:00 start but the first inning just ended.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:37 PM CDT reply actions  

thanks

I guess the tv schedule was off

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

CC

doesn’t look like he has his best stuff today. Not really pounding the strike zone.

by Wayfaerer on Aug 24, 2008 1:37 PM CDT reply actions  

maybe he was up late

watching the Redeem Team win gold.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

He was wearing a Spain hat while doing it to repay Lebron.

Coffee is for closers

by drezdn on Aug 24, 2008 1:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

hopefully

he wasn’t wearing his Defense hat because there wasn’t much played in that game.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

Trouble for Maholm

bases juiced and Braun and Prince due up

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 1:54 PM CDT reply actions  

I’ll bet that one puckered his backside

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 1:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Hardy

That play was awesome

Coffee is for closers

by drezdn on Aug 24, 2008 2:06 PM CDT reply actions  

it was.

Just what the Crew needed. I am still in shock we didn’t score last inning.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 2:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

Don't worry Rickie

has lots of potential, really, he does, it will show up…. sometime… really, be patient, he has only had 3 years, really he’ll be good. Those K’s don’t mean a thing or the bobbled balls, he will be awesome really….

UGHHHHHHHHHHH

The Bambi's Bombers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!

by 80badger on Aug 24, 2008 2:18 PM CDT reply actions  

Rickie

is it just me or does rickie weeks swing and miss at more pitches right down the middle of the plate then any other guy I have ever seen?? maybe its just that I don’t like him

by Bigdogg2002 on Aug 24, 2008 2:23 PM CDT reply actions  

Morgan and Wilson

get plenty of hate from Rats fans… and are a PIA this series

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 2:26 PM CDT reply actions  

This game

has been very frustrating thus far.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 2:36 PM CDT reply actions  

What’s with Doug M’s eyeblack?

Coffee is for closers

by drezdn on Aug 24, 2008 2:49 PM CDT reply actions  

1 run in

I will take it, even though Cam made an out on the base paths

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 2:51 PM CDT reply actions  

Is it just me

Or has Cam upped his game lately?

It's all entertainment

by Lake County on Aug 24, 2008 2:52 PM CDT reply actions  

he and Billy

are both having great games.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

Seems like 4-5 weeks or so he’s been hitting pretty well.

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 2:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ned

taking it easy on the rental car today. CC out after 6 innings.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 2:55 PM CDT reply actions  

Let’s put CC in line for the win

I don’t see why not.

Another bloop hit

that’s at least 3 today for the Rats

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 3:10 PM CDT reply actions  

I missed it

Why did we pull CC? Pitch count up? Pinch hit last inning?

both

he was at 96 pitches and the game was tied with a man on second. Gape pinch hit and knocked the run in.

by molitorfan on Aug 24, 2008 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

My mouth is open in astonishment

that we have someone on our team named Gape.

:D

Boo.

That’s a “highschool social studies teacher” quality joke there. Just above the “drunk perpetually unemployed uncle” category, though it’s not blue enough to qualify.

I wonder

if anyone’s ever suggested to Weeks that he might benefit from a longer/heavier bat. I know it will mess with his timing a bit but he doesn’t keep the bat in the hitting zone very long and seems to pop a lot of balls up off the end of the bat.

Huh?

There’s a Larry Craig joke in there somewhere

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 3:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

I can’t decide if it’s because Yost loves him or hates him

Gagne is ready

that’s because he hates us

Need to win

both games bottom 8, Cubs up 6-1 and Cards up 6-3

a lefty isn’t destined to win this game.

If I were the manager I’d pinch hit Rivera for Kendall here.

by drezdn on Aug 24, 2008 3:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

and Kendall teases but flies out

by ol Pete on Aug 24, 2008 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Hits to the warning track should count as a home run for Kendall.

Maybe the decision to turn McClung into a garbage time pitcher wasn’t so great. It’d be nice to have options when one guy doesn’t have it. Now we get Mota…
